News Update – My blog is moving!
|
The latest news is that I'm delving into the past! ... Not entirely by choice I have to say, but unfortunately my long-time blog has been hacked by spammers. I really apologise if anyone received multiple copies of geriatric blogposts. I was doing some updating on the blog from a hotel room... Lesson learnt.
Anyway, the good news is that I am currently working to restore all the blogposts right here on my website! It is taking a little longer than I hoped it would, but my blogposts did go back to 2008, so that's 14 years of posts to move across! However, it's proving very enjoyable to dig through the archives, so please enjoy re-reading all the old posts as they reappear! Here's some of the old'uns but good'uns: |
Blogposts to check out:
I hope you enjoy re-reading those. Please watch the Blogpost page for more fun blogposts reappearing from the past!

Reversible Knitting Stitches E-book
Reversible stitch patterns are a way of taking your knitting to the next level.

Lamberhurst Scarf

Trevarren Placemat Set

The beauty of a reversible knitting stitch pattern can be seen in the Lamberhurst Scarf for men in the photo on the left. The intriguing zig-zag pattern on the front is echoed on the back so both sides can be on show. This makes it easy to wear and stunning to look at.
Reversible knitting stitches also have another key advantage: they usually produce beautifully flat pieces of knitting! This gives a wonderful finish for non-curling scarves, blankets, rugs and placemats, as shown in the Trevarren Placemat Set shown on the right.
